Intended Use
The Apex ARC™ Hip Stem is intended for use as the femoral component of a primary or revision total hip replacement. This femoral hip stem is intended for uncemented fixation and single use implantation. This prosthesis may be used for the following conditions, as appropriate: Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease, including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis; Rheumatoid arthritis; Correction of functional deformity; Congenital dislocation; Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; Femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur.
Device Story
Apex ARC Hip Stem is a modular femoral component for total hip arthroplasty; used in primary or revision procedures. Device comprises a curved, rectangular tapered titanium alloy stem and modular cobalt chromium necks; necks offer neutral, 8-degree, or 12-degree varus-valgus angles. System is compatible with existing Apex Modular and Apex K2 hip system heads and acetabular cups. Surgeons select component combinations to match patient anatomy. Device provides uncemented fixation via plasma-sprayed commercially pure titanium porous coating; hydroxyapatite overcoat is optional. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons to restore joint function and alleviate pain associated with degenerative disease, fractures, or deformities.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including distal and proximal fatigue strength (ISO 7206-4/6/8, ASTM 2068-09), fretting potential (ISO 17853), disassembly strength (ASTM F2009), torsional strength, range of motion (ISO 21535), and burst/rotational stability testing for the modular neck-ceramic head combination.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Ti6Al4V titanium alloy stem, cobalt chromium modular necks, CP Ti plasma-sprayed porous coating, optional hydroxyapatite overcoat. Design: Curved, rectangular tapered stem with distal slots. Modular components allow for variable neck angles (neutral, 8°, 12°). Standards: ISO 7206 series, ASTM F2068-09, ISO 17853, ASTM F2009-00, ISO 21535, ISO 7206-10. Sterilization: ETO (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring primary or revision total hip replacement via uncemented fixation. Conditions include non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, congenital dislocation, revision procedures, and femoral neck/trochanteric fractures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.

| 4. Device Description | The Apex ARC Hip Stem consists of a curved, rectangular tapered stem, and modular necks that connect to the tapered hole in the stem. The femoral stems are manufactured from titanium alloy and the modular necks are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy. Three neck sizes are offered, with a neutral, 8 degree, and 12 degree varus-valgus angle, respectively. The necks are compatible with the modular heads that are part of the Apex Modular and Apex K2 hip systems (K000788, K012918, and K073150) and may be used with head diameters and offsets up to a maximum offset of +7 mm. These configurations allow the user to choose a combination of stem, neck, and head components to appropriately fit the anatomy of the patient. The Apex ARC Hip Stem may be used in conjunction with the Apex Modular™ Acetabular Cup (K031110, K062489, and K073150) for total hip arthroplasty. |
